1. What is IACET?
The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) is a non-profit association dedicated to quality continuing education and training programs. The organization is an accredited Standards Developing Organization by the American Standards Institute (ANSI) and is an authorizing body for education providers that meet the American National Standard for continuing education and training (ANSI/IACET 1-2007 Standard). The IACET standard is what learners seek for quality and is the core of thousands of educational programs worldwide. For more information visit http://www.iacet.org/.
2. What is an Authorized Provider?
The IACET Authorized Provider (AP) status means that an organization adheres to IACET's internationally recognized ANSI/IACET 1-2007 Standard for Continuing Education and Training. Only Authorized Providers may award IACET Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
3. What is a CEU?
The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) was created by IACET as a measurement of continuing education. One (1) IACET CEU is equal to ten (10) contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction.
4. Will CEUs from The Bob Pike Group apply to my industry?
The Bob Pike Group awards IACET CEUs which means we have met the stringent requirements of the ANSI/IACET 1-2007 standard. As IACET offers the most industry-wide accreditation of CEUs, it is likely that they will apply, but it is a good idea to verify this with your accrediting agency.
5. How many CEUs can I get for a course?
One CEU is defined as ten (10) contact hours. For example, a typical training day consists of 6 hours of training (subtracting lunch and breaks) so this would qualify for 0.6 CEUs. Please consult the specific course webpage to see how many CEUs will be awarded.
6. Can I receive CEUs for a class I have already taken?
If you completed your course after February 1, 2012, then yes. You would simply need to pay the administrative fee and we would verify your eligibility. Any courses completed before the date above are not eligible because they precede our accreditation.
7. How much does it cost to receive CEUs from the Bob Pike Group?
There is an administrative charge of $50 that you select upon registering. This nominal fee covers the tracking and record maintenance confirming your CEU award.
8. How do I request a copy of my CEU completion?
After you take a course and have applied for CEUs, a certificate conferring the number of CEUs completed will be sent to you. If you need to request an additional copy of this at a later time you may either:
- Send an email from an account matching the email address on file to info@bobpikegroup.com making your request
- Mail or fax a request with the participant signature making your request
Records will be sent via mail within 5 business days of receiving a record request.
Your information privacy is very important to us and we will only release information according to the procedures listed above.
9. What are the criteria for receiving CEUs?
To be eligible to receive continuing education units, there are two very important things to remember:
- Sign in - Each day of your course please be sure to sign-in. This will help us maintain a record of your attendance in our system.
- Participate - CEUs are awarded based on demonstrating mastery of the defined objectives during class. Participating during class will ensure that you meet all objectives.
10. If I have taken Bob Pike Group courses before to receive CEUs, can I apply those toward certificate prerequisites?
Yes. Please contact us at 1-800-383-9210 or email us for more information.
